Meta has officially launched its “Twitter killer” app called Threads —and within just a few days of going live, conservatives are already reporting aggressive censorship efforts.
Examples shared below from Not The Bee.
Here’s a post about Hunter Biden that was removed for violating community guidelines.

In another example of censoring conservative voices —this is what happens when a user tries to follow Donald Trump Jr. on the platform.

Popular conservative commentator “DC_Draino” had a similar experience, getting flagged for censorship after just one post on the Biden crime family.
Just downloaded and signed up for the new Meta app “Threads” meant to imitate Twitter
I posted once about wanting to expose Biden’s corrupt government and they’ve already flagged me for censorship

“Glad you’re all here on day one. Let’s build something great together!” Mark Zuckerberg posted on Threads. “The world needs a friendly public space for conversation. If we do this well, then Threads can be that space. We’re going to stay focused on that as our north star.”
Zuck’s ideal social platform is void of all conservative opposition, it seems.
